1. The clothes

Leggings, sweaters, sweatshirts, knit hats. I mean, what could be better than these kinds of clothes? It's literally every girl's dream.

2. The food

OHHHH yes. Everyone's favorite thing: food. From the hot chocolate, smores, and Halloween candy, nothing has it beat. Nothing.

3. The cookies

Why did I not include this in the food you might ask? Because these cookies deserve a category all to themselves. We ALL know the cookies that I'm talking about. THE cookies.

4. The weather

October has the perfect kind of weather. There is nothing that can beat the cool weather that has just the slightest bit of chill in the breeze that requires a long sleeve comfort colors t-shirt.

5. The football

Being from the south, college football is an event (an event that is not taken lightly.) October is a month full of football and homecoming.

6. The beginning of the seasons that matter

October is the gateway to all other seasons. I don't mean fall and winter; I mean, spooky, Thanksgiving, and Christmas season. These are the favorites of the mass majority of people, and when October rolls around, everyone is in a better mood because it's only the beginning of the best time of year.

7. The decorations

There is nothing that beats the cute and slightly spooky Walmart decorations. Like I said above, it's just the beginning of all things good!

8. The costumes

Halloween costumes give parties a whole new fun twist. It just would not be the same without the costumes and the unspoken competition of who has the best one.

9. The socials

In college, Halloween is a BIG social season. The swaps and date parties all the way to haunted trails and hay rides. If this doesn't excite you, what are you doing?

10. The lazy days

Picture this: Its a crisp 54 degrees outside. You're snuggled up in bed with your pet. Hot chocolate (or drink of choice) in hand. Not a care in the world other than what is going to happen next on your Netflix show. You got excited didn't you?
